Obituary.



Fred A. Hale, son of John II. Hale. Jr.,
died at the residence OF his parents on We'd
nesday OF last week. ia the nineteenth year OF
bis age. II is seldom indeed, that so much re-
gret is expressed at the death Of one 80 Young
but our citizens, Of all ages and pursuits, have
very generally expressed great sorrow at the
death of this Young man who appeared to
have been very widely loved and respected in
the place. To many Of the young men Of the
place his early death has brought great grief
and they manifest in their words and de-
meanor how deeply they mourn the los OF his
companionship.
Several OF the Young men Of the city joined
together in contributing very beautiful floral
pillow for his funei al. In the center Of this
pillow was formed in letters of flowers the
name Fred" The class in the High school
of which the deceased was formerly a member
contributed beautiful cross of choice flowers TO
decorate the easket which contained the earth
" remains of their respected friend.
The death of this young man. who was the
Youngest child Of the family and the only one
that was left under the home roof, Is a terrible
blow to the bereayed parents who have the
deepest sympathy of all who know them.

highest possible figure and the same may be
said Of land all over the island.
TIL. Mount Desert Herald in its last issue
makes mention Of the death Of Sullivan Green
at Green's Landing, and in that connection
saws; Somew here away back in the tties the
little steamer Rockland used to make stop
nearly opposite Mr.. Green's residence, and he
used to take passengers back and forth in =
hoat. landing them at his wharf; hence the
name Green's Landing came to be applied not
only to the landing place but in time TO the
village which afterwards sprung up there.
That part OF the town had formerly been called
the .Rurpt Land from the fact that fire had
once run over IL and destroyed most OF the
wood then standing. At the time mentioned
| there were some half dozen houses scattered
| along the shore and there was one team owned
by Mr.. Green and possibly one owned by Mr..
| Charles Eaton, who still lives there. These
| two kept stores containing the usual stock OF
dry goods and groceries. No one then ever
thought Of utilizing the rocks which cropped
out everywhere, and the granite business was
not dreamed of. Now there is quite con-
| trsst. Then there was scarcely more than a
bride path through the woods to the landing.
| hardly safe to travel with Il carriage. Now the
roads will not stand too much praise. but at
least one is in no danger of broken bones.

Saved by the Kick of His Mule

From the days of Adam until today
the kick of mule has been considered
as dangerous to human life and limb as
ball shot from a Parrott cannon. It
remains for Mr.. Forward, an employe of
Fred Stevens, to furnish q remarkable
exception to the above rule. Forward
was coming down the steep hill below
the dollhouse, seated on a large load
of lumber and driving a team of six
mules. The distance from the top of
the load of lumber to the ground was
fully ten feet. On the way down one
of the forward wheels of the wagon
ran upon a. rock, and the wagon, made
top-heavy by the load, was in imminent
danger of tipping over. Forward
jumped to the ground, and in lighting
broke his right leg, his body falling
directly in front of the forward wheels
of the wagon, which were beginning to
move. He was helpless, and, instantly
realizing his position, he shut his eyes
and waited for the heavily
wagon to crush him to death. At the
instant one of the rear mules seemed
to take in the situation, and letting
drive with both feet kicked Forward
from under the wheels and into the
ditch by the roadside. Shortly after
ward he was found lying in the ditch
by passers-by and brought to this city
where the broken leg was set, and he
is in a fair way to recover.-Fr Fresno

takes three months to teach flea to do
anything worthy of a public perform

A kentucky Lightning Calculator,

Reuben Fields, most extraordinary
individual, has returned to his home
near this place after an absence of some
years in the West. Fields is known far
and wide as the "Mathematical
Prodigy and, indeed, he is most
wonderful creature. Perfectly illiterate,
not being able to tell one letter or
figure from another, he bears the SAME
relation to the science Of mathematics
that Blind Tom does to music. Fields
is now about % years Of age, and his
ability to quickly and correctly solve
the most difficult problems was dis
covered when he was but 8 years old.
That faculty continued to develop un-
til he is able to solve, with lightning
like rapidity, any problem in simple or
compound fractions, oranything in the
higher branches of mathematics. For
instance the moon is a certain number
of miles from the earth; grain Of corn
is so long; how many grains will it take
to connect the points? The answer to
this or any other problem comes like a
flash. He can also tell to the fraction
of a second the time of day or night.
This marvellous man has been tested by
the most expert mathematicians and
his answers to problems have been
found to be invariably correct. Scientists
have examined Fields head, and pro-
nounce his wondrously developed faculty
a profound mystery to them. Fields
knows little else than his extraordinary
ability. He claims that his power in
this respect is a direct gift from his
Creator, and liable to be taken away
from him if not properly used. The
possessor of this gift never went to
school day in his life, and never did a
days work, except occasionally aid
merchants in invoicing their goods, and
in this business he has been known to
keep a score or more of clerks busy
footing up columns of figures. He is a
very large man, andhas a look the reverse
of intelligent Having no occupation
he lives among his acquaintances, put
ting up wherever night overtakes him.
He is very proud of his gift, and fire.
